Why do you think kublai khan did not want Chinese to fill important government jobs?

Kublai Khan, as the Mongol ruler of China, aimed to maintain Mongol supremacy and control over the diverse population. He believed that placing Chinese in important government roles could lead to a loss of authority and potentially incite rebellion, as the Chinese had a long history of sophisticated governance and cultural identity. By favoring Mongols and other non-Chinese groups for high positions, Kublai sought to ensure loyalty and reinforce the Mongol elite's dominance in his administration. This strategy was also part of a broader approach to integrate but distinguish the Mongol rule from Chinese traditions.
